Well, personally I have plenty of acne scars which I hate, but have gotten used to. It might not be that comforting to think about, but I would prefer my scarring to be someplace else besides my face. Another interesting point of view is this: when I was younger, I thought that scars on my legs from bicycle mishaps were ever so cool that I was actually sorry to see them fade. I guess what I am trying to say is that your perception of those scars is what counts. Have you ever listened to Joe Henry? His best album, Scar, is a masterpiece. There is plenty of poetry in scars, not just shame.
